I Love Tea Cups

Monday, April 29, 2013

Good morning everyone.
I'm sitting here in Napa Valley, California on a mini-vacation. I'll be sharing those photos in a week or so. But today it's time to share my new Climbing White Eden Rose, and my new Finlandia teapot and pitcher. I was at a thrift store and found both of these vintage items for 50% off.
I love blue and white and couldn't resist bringing them home. All my other blue and white dishes are packed away while we remodel our French Country kitchen.

This blue and white cup and saucer is the only blue and white left in the china cabinet. I have packed away all the other blue and white dishes in anticipation of our up and coming remodel in the kitchen and dining room. The redo was postponed while my sweetheart built a beautiful iron fence and gate for our church. I will share those photos in another post.

I love the Eden rose bud with the soft pink center.

Today we are outside under the pomegranate tree with the peonies in the background. I dug the peonies up from my mother's yard before we sold her home last month. I will always have a memory of my mom's beautiful garden in my garden.

The little hankie as the napkin, which also belonged to my mom. With an old fashioned clothes pin for my napkin ring

I have a new love. A funny book about Peter Mayle's 'A Year in Provence'

I'm only in the month of February and I already know how to cook a fox!

Beautiful White Eden

White Milk Glass vase and the scrumptious Eden Rose.

It's time for tea in the garden. I love my little shortbread cookies with my afternoon tea.

This bouquet is a mix of Peony, White Eden, Simplicity and Crystalline.

Oh my, such scrumptious roses, Betty! Your Finlandia tea things are so pretty. I love blue and white; it's so fresh! Love the white hobnail vase too. Enjoy your vacation and I look forward to more pictures. Thank you for coming to tea.

Your roses and table are gorgeous! I have a new weekly link party which is live now and I would love if you stop by and link up this wonderful post! Hope to see you there! http://mariaelenasdecor.blogspot.com/ Hugs, Maria

How gorgeous is Eden Rose. The blooms are so delicate and full! They look gorgeous in the milk glass!Your Finlandia finds go perfect. I am visiting from Feathered Nest Friday Susie at Puddle Jumper Creations

Everything looks just lovely! A getaway in Napa Valley is always a good idea. My favorite time there is in the fall when the leaves in the vineyards are changing but anytime will do! It's wonderful that you brought the peonies from your mother's garden into yours. They are beautiful. You will love "A Year in Provence" - it's one of my favorites!Enjoy your weekend!Robin

Betty, Your roses are gorgeous!! It is so nice that you have your mom's peonies. My mom has a rose from her mother, and I would like to get it for my yard. A Year in Provence actually started my love of travel journals when it originally came out! If you have the chance there is an excellent mini series of the book (I can't believe I'm saying that as I rarely find the movies of books to be satisfactory), which stars John Thaw as Peter Mayle. The scenery is amazing. Enjoy! Linda

What a beautiful post! I love this beautiful china, it's one of my favs in blue and white. I went to Napa Valley years ago and it's one of my most memorable trips, ever! Your roses are lovely and the flower vase is exquisite! Big hugs,FABBY
